Description:

Is your library's website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities?  Would you like to learn about what issues visitors with disabilities may face in using the library's website and virtual services and how to make improvements?

The South Carolina State Library's Able Access Web Accessibility Assessments project provides an opportunity for public libraries in South Carolina to receive a thorough web accessibility assessment.  The Web Accessibility Assessments project page contains the project application and additional details.
